The Greek Research & Technology Network (GRNET S.A. www.grnet.gr) was founded in 1998 and is a state-owned company under the supervision of the Hellenic Ministry of Development - General Secretariat of Research and Technology.
The main objectives of GRNET S.A.concern the provision of advanced Internet services to academic and research institutions and organizations of similar activities, along with the wider promotion of innovative Internet applications with the participation of relevant national and communal projects.
GRNET is a major partner in advanced research projects and supports partnerships.
The main projects and partnerships are:
GÉANT2 is the high-bandwidth, academic Internet serving Europe’s research and education community. Connecting over 30 million researchers with a multi-domain topology spanning 34 European countries and links to a number of other world regions, GÉANT2 is at the heart of global research networking.
Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) is the largest multi-disciplinary grid infrastructure in the world, which brings together more than 140 institutions to produce a reliable and scalable computing resource available to the European and global research community. At present, it consists of approximately 300 sites in 50 countries and gives its 10,000 users access to 80,000 CPU cores around-the-clock.
SEEREN2 aims at creating the next generation of the South East European segment of GÉANT. It intends to make leading-edge technologies and services available to the entire Research and Education communities and all scientific sectors of the region, without discrimination between users and sites, in an attempt to further ease the digital divide that still separates most of the South East European countries from the rest of the continent.
SEE-GRID-2 aims to deliver an eInfrastructure to serve the research and educational needs of the scientific communities and end-users that will be sustainable both at national and regional level in its operation and expansion.
